Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Jason Segel (Sans Drew Barrymore)

STV · 02/04/09 01:55PM

1/31 — Was at the Bar Marmont and saw JASON SEGEL, he looked like he was on a date with an unidentified cute blonde. They sat cuddling in a corner, he seemed very interested in the conversation they were having, and even more interested in downing drinks. He seemed friendly as fans came up to him and asked for pictures. Isn't he supposed to be dating Drew Barrymore? Guess not!

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Drew Barrymore and Jason Segel

STV · 12/26/08 04:35PM

DREW BARRYMORE and JASON SEGEL probably are dating. I was at a Karaoke last night and they were there, I'm pretty sure they've got something going on. I took some pictures and videos of Jason Segel singing with my phone but they did not come out very clear! [Tease!

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Drew Barrymore (and Jason Segel?)

STV · 12/22/08 03:50PM

12/20 — Celebrated my birthday with friends on Saturday night in Los Feliz and ended up at the last night of Tangiers. Down the street sitting out front eating at Little Dom's was DREW BARRYMORE! She looks hot blonde! She was having dinner with that guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall and How I Met Your Mother, sorry, too lazy to IMDB him. Are they dating?

Flaccid Rankings: In an attempt to rebut the cruel patriarchy of Mr. Skin's women-only list of the year's top nude scenes, The Frisky has published their own Top 10, detailing the best bare men of the year. As a commentary on this year's slim male pickings, two of the winners went nothing more than shirtless, one was onstage, and the winner was Jason Segel from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Alas, The Reader continued its nude scene shutout. Old Harvey would have gotten Kate Winslet on this list somehow, even without a penis! The full list, after the jump:

The Busiest Boys In Hollywood

Richard Lawson · 08/14/08 08:35AM

Oh look. Another Judd Apatow-related semi-sweet comedy. This one's called Role Models, and it features Apatow fixtures old (Paul Rudd) and new (Christopher "McLovin'" Mintz-Plasse). These people are the busiest dudes in the business. We know that comedic actors tend to travel in packs-like the old SNL posse (Murray, Martin, Akroyd) and the Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughn/Will Ferrell group-but these gents seem especially tight-knit and disarmingly productive. We're not sure where they get the time, but studios seem eager to throw millions at a bunch of comedies that can be filmed fast and cheap and Apatow and co. seem happy to dance for the nickels. Paul Rudd must never see his kid. Our Photoshop whiz Steve Dressler has put together the chart above, giving you an idea of the guys' large workload.

Jason Segel's Penis Revealed Just In Time For Debate at 'Vanity Fair' [NSFW]

STV · 04/24/08 05:00PM

Wednesday marked the first time in four days that Jason Segel didn't publicly recount his bestselling short story Getting Dumped While Naked, but that didn't keep his bare ween off the minds of close observers from Videogum to Vanity Fair. While one went the think-y route in exploring the Segel's phallus phenom, the other was the first to procured a screenshot of the actor's famous wang in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Guess which was which? Or just follow the jump for your prurient full-frontal fix. Remember, NSFW!

Jason Segel Changes Story Just In Time For Last 'Sarah Marshall' Interview

STV · 04/23/08 03:10PM

"I got dumped once while naked..." So begins the umpteenth and (we think) final televised retelling of Jason Segel's exceedingly well-practiced cock-flaunting anecdote from the set of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Seeing as he took pains to mix it up a little last night on The Tonight Show, we're almost sorry to see him step off the publicity roundabout just when his improvisatory spirit was just taking flight: "This is the first time [in my career] I might start getting recognized," he told Jay Leno. "Every person who's come up to me is staring directly at my crotch!" See? Now that's a story! [NBC]

Jason Segel's Nudity Anecdote So Good That He Told It Twice

STV · 04/22/08 12:45PM

The contagious, gag-repeating virus that so infamously befell David Letterman a few weeks ago was apparently also contracted last Friday by Jason Segel, who regaled his host at the Ed Sullivan Theater with yet another story about his ween-baring escapades on the set of Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Yesterday on Ellen, meanwhile, Segel shared the same anecdote — literally the same one, almost verbatim down to the "Dockers" punchline. The look on Ellen's face is priceless: kind of the knowing, disbelieving grin of a woman praying her audience missed Segel's Letterman appearance and wondering how the imaginative writer of the weekend's top comedy can't find a more clever alternative for "third-string Chippendales model." But it did play well with the ladies, so hey. [video by Molly McAleer]

Exclusive: 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' Director Gives Us The Most Penis-tastic Interview Ever

nickm · 04/18/08 01:30PM

Nicholas Stoller is having a very good year. After being taken under the mighty wing of Judd Apatow, his hilarious-yet-touching directorial debut, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, opens today. Not only that, he and star Jason Segel are currently making the new Muppet movie. Clearly, it's time to learn a little more about this guy before he becomes too much of a big shot. Since they're old friends, we asked our frequent guest-blogger Nick Malis (who contractually required us to plug Malis in Wonderland and Cute Things Falling Asleep) to interview Stoller. What follows is a fascinating portrait of a young artist at the dawn of his career. Also, he talks about penises a lot. Stick around after the jump to hear Stoller opine on the homoerotic world of Judd Apatow's office, seeing Kristen Bell naked, and what Richard Roeper is like in bed.

Finally, An Excuse To Talk About Jason Segel's Flaccid Penis

Rebecca · 04/18/08 11:11AM

Hey, remember Knocked Up and Superbad? Sure, they were each a little sexist and homoerotic (not that there's anything wrong with that), respectively, but nonetheless spawned the adjective "Apatovian." Now any movie featuring a lovable goof and the Apatow players, also known as the cast of Freaks and Geeks, gets a rave. The latest is Forgetting Sarah Marshall, starring 73 frames of Jason Segel's penis. A tipster writes in to complain that the Entertainment Weekly review and the Slate review are awfully similar, both using Segel's body (penis) as a metaphor for the movie. Well, isn't his penis a metaphor for everything?

Nick Stoller, Jason Segel, Bent Festival

Mark Graham · 04/17/08 07:40PM

· See his naughty bits, then see him in the flesh. The Forgetting Sarah Marshall screening at the Arclight tonight includes a Q&A with director Nick Stoller and star Jason Segel.
· We don't know where to begin describing the Bent Festival at the California Plaza, so we'll just let Flavorpill do it: "An international movement attracting musicians, artists, performers, noiseniks and mad scientists, circuit bending typically involves the manipulation of simple electronics — especially those found in children's toys like talking dolls — into avenues of sonic expression that Playskool just wouldn't understand. This year's Bent Festival is LA's fifth and most ambitious to date, with concerts by celebrity benders from all over the world, plus workshops, demonstrations, and parties over three days at two downtown locations." Yes, what they said.

Jason Segel Enters Exclusive Full-Frontal Male Nudity Club In 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'

Molly Friedman · 04/16/08 07:45PM

Judd Apatow has fulfilled his promise to "shake Americans from their squeamishness about male anatomy in movies" by featuring Forgetting Sarah Marshall star Jason Segel completely nude in the movie's pivotal break-up scene. And as the LAT pointed out yesterday, Segel's manhood provides the film's "most captivating screen presence" (sorry, Kristen Bell). But Apatow and his cool comedy clique aren't the first ones to boldly focus their cinematic lens on male actors' full frontal displays. We took a look back on Segel's predecessors to showcase other (pun intended) ballsy big-screen cameos by the likes of Bruce Willis and Ewan McGregor after the jump. Just a warning, this is NSFW.

At Long Last, 'The Breakfast Club' For The Sitting-In-An-Airport Generation
